Yes, any PC-133 should work. To findout if your motherboard will support the 256 MB memory module, you would have to look in the manual that came with the system or the motherboard, or get the model number on the motherboard to look it up on line, if I had the number I could check to see if I can findout for sure. I would say likely that it would support a 256 MB PC-133 stick, but without knowing the model for the motherboard, can not say for certain. If after installing the 256 memory, it gives any errors, you might try taking the 256 MB and installing it alone, see if it boots that way, then try adding back in one of the 128 sticks in the other slots, testing again, then trying the next.

It probably was manufactured that they would support up to 1 GB memory modules (likely with a flash update), and the manual only reflected the lower at time of printing memory module support. The wording for the memory information is a bit confusing, what it looks like to me, is it will support 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, and 512 MB PC-133 memory. You can mix them typically, so you do not have to have all 128, 256 or 512, but in order to get the 1.5GB you could do so only by using 3x512MB memory sticks.
